Ancient poems describing landscapes and scenery (1)
"Looking at the Mountains" by Du Fu
How is Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young. The clock of creation is beautiful, and the yin and yang cut off the dawn.
Stratus clouds grow in the chest, and returning birds enter the canthus. You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
"Spring Blossoms Like a River" Qi Wuqian
The tranquility is never cut off, and it will go as you wish. The evening breeze blows on the boat, and the flower path enters the mouth of the stream.
Turning to the west ravine at night, looking across the mountain to the south. The smoke in the pool is flying and melting, and the forest moon is low and backward.
When trouble occurs and spreads, I would like to be the old man holding the pole.
"Qingxi" Wang Wei
When entering Huanghuachuan, I chase the water of Qingxi. There will be thousands of turns along the mountain, and the journey will be endless.
Noisy in the rocks, but quiet in the deep pines. The ripples are full of water chestnuts, and the clear water reflects the reeds.
My mind is already idle, and the clear river is so peaceful. Please stay on the rock, fishing will be over.
"Sending Five Pictures to Ten Thousand Mountains in Autumn" by Meng Haoran
In the white clouds of the North Mountain, the hermit feels happy. When we look at each other, we climb high, and our hearts follow the wild geese.
Worry arises in the dusk, and happiness comes in the autumn. Sometimes I see people returning to the village, resting at the flat sand crossing.
The trees on the horizon are like shepherd's purses, and the islands on the riverside are like the moon. Why should I bring you wine to get drunk on the Double Ninth Festival?

"Inscribed on the Zen Temple behind Poshan Temple" Chang Jian
Entering the ancient temple in the early morning, the first sun shines on the high forest. The bamboo path leads to a secluded place, and the Zen room is surrounded by flowers and trees.
The light of the mountains pleases the birds, and the shadows of the ponds empty the hearts of the people. Everything is silent, except for the sound of bells and chimes.
"Climbing the Stork Tower" by Wang Zhihuan
The sun sets over the mountains and the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to the next level.
"Poetry of Prince Teng's Pavilion" by Wang Bo
Prince Teng's high pavilion is near the river, and he sings and dances with jade-wearing mingluan. The painted building is flying toward Nanpu clouds, and the bead curtain rolls into the west mountain rain at dusk.
The shadows of the leisurely cloud pool are long and the sun is shining, and things have changed and the stars have moved several autumns. Where is the emperor's son in the pavilion now? Outside the threshold, the Yangtze River flows empty.
"Ascend the Phoenix Terrace in Jinling" by Li Bai
The Phoenix travels on the Phoenix Terrace, and the phoenix leaves the platform and the empty river flows by itself. The flowers and plants of the Wu Palace are buried in the secluded paths, and the clothes of the Jin Dynasty are transformed into ancient hills.
Beyond the blue sky half-fallen by the three mountains, Bailuzhou is divided into a body of water. The floating clouds can break the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad.
"Zhuli Pavilion" Wang Wei
Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo, playing the piano and whistling loudly. People in the deep forest don't know that the bright moon comes to shine.

"Deer and Chai" Wang Wei
No one can be seen in the empty mountain, but the sound of people's voices can be heard. Returning to the deep forest, the light shines on the moss again.
"Birdsong Stream" Wang Wei
The sweet-scented osmanthus falls when people are idle, the night is quiet and the spring mountain is empty. The moonrise scares the mountain birds, and they sing in the spring stream.
"In the Mountain" Wang Wei
White rocks emerge from Jingxi River, and the red leaves are scarce in the cold weather. There is no rain on the mountain road, the sky is green and people's clothes are wet.
"Dwelling in the Mountains in the Dark Autumn" by Wang Wei
After the new rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks.
The bamboo noise returns to Huan Nu, and the lotus moves off the fishing boat. The spring fragrance rests at will, and the king and grandson can stay.
"Staying on the Jiande River" by Meng Haoran
Moving the boat to Yanzhu, the guests are worried about the new arrival at dusk. The trees are low in the open sky, and the clear moon on the river is close to the people.

"Autumn Thoughts on the Pure Sky and Sand" by Ma Zhiyuan
Withered vines and old trees, dim crows, small bridges and flowing water. The ancient road has a westerly wind and a thin horse. The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
"Night Mooring at Maple Bridge" by Zhang Ji
The moon is setting, the crows are crying, the sky is full of frost, the river maples are fishing and the fire is facing melancholy. At Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rang for the passenger ship at midnight.
"Spring Outlook in Hangzhou" by Bai Juyi
The Wanghai Tower shines brightly in the morning glow, and the embankment protecting the river is white on the clear sand. The sound of waves fills the enlisted member's temple at night, and the willow color spring hides in Su Xiaojia's house.
The red sleeves and weaving damask praise the persimmon stems, and the green flag sells wine while the pear blossoms are blooming. Who opens the southwest road of Husi? The grass is green and the waist of the skirt is sloping.
"Early Spring in South Lake" by Bai Juyi
The wind has returned, the clouds have stopped, the rain has cleared, and the sun has returned to the lakeside, which is warm and bright. The red mountain apricot hair is scattered randomly, and the new green water apple is spread flatly.
The white wild goose with low wings is still heavy in flight, and the tongue is astringent and the oriole language has not been completed. I don’t know that spring in Jiangnan is not good, as I get sick and lose my mood every year.
"Staying on the Jiande River" by Meng Haoran
Moving the boat to Yanzhu, the guests are worried about the new arrival at dusk. The trees are low in the open sky, and the clear moon on the river is close to the people.
"Zhang Xu, a Guest in the Mountains"
The scenery of the mountains brings out the brilliance of spring. Don't be tempted to return home because of the light shade. Even if the sky is bright and there is no color of rain, my clothes will still be stained deep in the clouds.
